Abstract
A braking system for supplemental or emergency use in conjunction with traditional braking methods increases resistance of the rotation of a wheel of a moving vehicle. The braking system for supplemental or emergency use slows the vehicle down more quickly and safely than traditional braking means through the use of a speed limiting module which is connected to a wheel braking interface, such as a brake rotor or disc. The speed limiting module includes a control system that controls the rotation of the wheel braking interface using a variable rotational resistance (VRR) mechanism. The VRR mechanism applies a counter rotational force onto a gear shaft which is attached to a pinion disposed on the opposite end of the gear shaft. The pinion meshes with a plurality of internal cogs positioned on the wheel braking interface. The counter rotational force from the pinion assists in slowing the rotation of the wheel.
